I love what you're going with.
And I think this is the perfect opportunity just to, just to briefly remind people why.
some of the myths that are there around water especially in data centers most water in data centers is on a closed loop system and it does not use fluorinated or chlorine or treated water in any way it does not want any of that because it's bad for the equipment and i think that once people realize they're not going to lose their drinking water to the data center that's two towns or three towns over then they can start to put it into a little bit more kind of um
perspective, maybe, you know, understanding that one hospital might use, you know, more water in a year in many multiples than a closed loop cooling system at a data center helps to kind of allay those kind of fears, doesn't it?
And we know that there's a huge amount of private equity being pumped into this industry on a very regular basis.
And that itself is creating a hype.
And everybody has to respond to that hype to be able to keep the money pile growing, shall we say, or the money moving, if you want to put it that way.
And there's huge pressures on people from the minute they get a go ahead to getting an in-place data center.
So it's fueling that kind of almost manic kind of obsession with time to market.
But I think that this industry has been very good in maintaining an open, frank and balanced discussion around each of the engineering topics.
You know, we don't say that as you save more power in the cooling side of it, you give it away to higher compute density or more compute density.
That's not actually the fact.
What is true and what is very much true
above board is the fact that every single person who participates in this industry does so at the very open edge of it.
They share what they can in an overall pursuit for common good.
And you don't see that in any other industry in my experience.
It's a good observation.
I mean,
We're in a situation now where we are engineering the designs for the future.
We don't know where it's going to end up.
